By using controlled microwave noise, researchers created a quantum refrigerator capable of operating as a cooler, heat engine, or amplifier. This approach offers a new way to manage heat directly ...

Quantum computing technology is complex, getting off the ground and maturing. There is promise of things to come. potentially ...

For decades, quantum computing has been heralded as a technology of the future, promising to solve problems far beyond the reach of supercomputers. But its practical use has remained elusive. That’s ...

Someday, somebody, somewhere will likely have a quantum computer capable of cracking the fragile codes that underpin every piece of data we exchange over the internet. We don’t know when. It could be ...

Quantum computers struggle because their qubits are incredibly easy to disrupt, especially during calculations. A new experiment shows how to perform quantum operations while continuously fixing ...

A gold superconducting quantum computer hangs against a black background. Quantum computers, like the one shown here, could someday allow chemists to solve problems that classical computers can’t.

Quantum computers need extreme cold to work, but the very systems that keep them cold also create noise that can destroy fragile quantum information. Scientists in Sweden have now flipped that problem ...

You've just put a dollar into a machine to play a song and it stopped playing after a few seconds. You put in another dollar and the tune stops after a minute. You can't get your dollars back and ...

Jacob Benestad in front of an experimental setup in the laboratory at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. This setup is similar to the one used during the group's experiments at the ...
